Hi all, well I had my 2nd AC chemo on 6/1/16 and today I feel like crap... Aches and pains all over my body very tired and feeling just urghhhhhhh!! Can't seem to get rid of metal taste in mouth, is this normal? Any suggestions? I feel like I just want to sleep all day!
Thanks in advance.
And fruit tingles:):)
Thank you all for the great advice... yes it sucks but rest and rest is the only way to go.

Hi Chriss,
I am on my 3rd TCH and it is my worst, I am day 6 and have all those symptoms, no fun hang in there..I just do panadol icypoles, mineral water and ice till it passes, just rest. Take care ?
Cheers Jen ?? ?? x
Hi Chris,
yes it's pretty normal. I had AC also and remember the aches and feeling exhausted. I can remember barely being able to walk around the block I was so exhausted. Rest up it is the only way to get through it and if you can exercise a little it helps. Two more to go, you are almost at the other end of it. If you are having taxol next, I found it much easier to cope with.
all the best

Hi Chris,
yeah, chemo sucks! I ended up on strong pain killers & slept for first week after each round. Some ladies have used Fruit tingle lollies & they say that helps with the taste. I sucked crushed ice & lived on any frozen fruit smoothie, helped with the taste & the mouth ulcers. Just make sure you don't have a temp in case something else is making you feel off. Usually by day 7-10, I was feeling stronger. Hope you feel better soon, Tracey ??
Hi Chriss,
i had TCH chemo but also suffered with aches and pains. Basically I took panadol ever 4 hours and if I needed to sleep I did. I would have a gentle walk around our block (very small block) and that's was about it. Listen to your body. If you need to sleep then sleep. If the aches and pains are really worrying you, ring the hospital to see if there is anything stronger than panadol you can take. Hang in there and I hope you feel a little better soon. Karen xox
